Q + A

What is the dress code?

We’d love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress to impress in your best formal cocktail attire. Bright spring colors are encouraged. Please no jeans or denim & avoid shades of white.

Can I bring a date?

We are so excited to celebrate this day with our closest friends and family! As we have a strict guest list in order to stay within our venue's capacity and our budget, we can only accommodate those listed on your specific invitation. Thank you for understanding!

Are children welcome?

Our wedding is going to be an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time so that you can celebrate with us!

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

We are having an unplugged ceremony. Once the ceremony begins, we ask that all phones be put away and silenced. We want everyone to be fully present with us and for our photographer/videographers to be able to capture the best pictures and moments. Once the ceremony is over, feel free to take as many photos as you would like.

When should I arrive?

Please arrive at least 15-30 minutes prior to the ceremony to allow time for parking and finding your seat as the ceremony will start promptly at 4:00pm. Refer to the travel section on our site for shuttle specifics.

Is the reception open bar?

Yes! Drinks are on us, but the hangover is on you! We are so excited to party all night with you all. We encourage you all to take advantage of our shuttle to the hotel or to use Uber to get home safely. The hotel bar will remain open until 1:00am after the reception.

What happens if it rains?

Rain or shine we cannot wait to celebrate our big day with you all. If the forecast includes rain our venue will have accommodations to move under a covered tent for the ceremony and reception.
